They are malleable.
what are the characteristics of metals? metals? non-metals?
Non-metals.
An element that has characteristics of both metals and nonmetals is a metalloid.
metalaoids have both the characteristics of metals and non metals. ex:-boron,germanyum.
They are highly- reactive metals
Semi-metals (or metalloids) are good semiconductors. They have characteristics of both metals and nonmetals. They also have ranging reactivity levels.

Metalloids
Elements on the periodic table that display some characteristics of metals and some characteristics of nonmetals are categorized as metalloids. Examples of metalloids include silicon, germanium, and arsenic. They have properties that are intermediate between metals and nonmetals.
Metalloids have some properties of both metals and nonmetals. They can exhibit characteristics of metals, such as conductivity, and characteristics of nonmetals, such as brittleness. Metalloids are found in a staircase pattern on the periodic table between metals and nonmetals.
